There's a whole lot of this.  My wife has commented flatly "I will not have my children and grandchildren wondering for even a moment whether I was complicit, or whether I stood with humanity."

That is 100% where we are as a society.  Are you the kind of person who would have hidden Anne Frank, or the kind who would turn her in?  There's no middle fucking ground.

With that many ICE people in town, it makes me sad that we no longer have malaria epidemics in New Orleans.

Yellow fever got the job fucking DONE.  Time to bring it back.

Honestly, I suspect RFK will get us there sooner than you think.

@Brisketexan's wife is shaming me into being less tame.

There is a non-zero chance that within the next year, she'll be shot in the face with a pepperball by some ICE asshole, arrested, or both.  All while wearing her clerical collar, clearly marking herself as clergy.

And those dumbasses don't realize that will just piss her off even more.

it’s probably good that I’m sitting in the Capital One lounge at the airport pounding free bloody Marys prior to flying to New York City for turkey day - because odds of getting arrested in New Orleans are greater than I’d prefer.

For those planning to engage in good trouble, make sure you and someone you trust have access to a reasonable amount of cash for bail. Write phone #s on your arm.

There's a whole manual out there.  For real.  Like, particular rules and procedures for peaceful demonstrations, designated persons in safe positions with a roster of participants (so all can be accounted for).  They will even hand out color-coded wrist-bands for those who are okay with being arrested, those who will leave on being told they will be arrested, etc.  Resources are available online, and you would be well-served by consulting with them, and/or participating with an organized group (there are many civil and social justice organizations actively involved).

Family of East Texas man detained near Mexico border pleads for his release

Border authorities detained Caden for carrying a pistol and bullets he possessed legally in Texas. He has waited for his release in a Mexican jail for nine months.

Authorities detained Caden for carrying a pistol and bullets he obtained and possessed legally in Texas.

In a phone call to his family, he said he expected to return to their home in Hallsville soon. That was nine months ago.

"And so he told my parents not to worry," his sister, Haley Hawkins, said. "He would pay the money, get out of jail in 24 to 48 hours. That's just what we hoped for, and it unfortunately did not unfold like that."

Those hours turned into days, and those days into months. Caden was detained in March, and has since been waiting for judges to set an appeal.

"You come to our country, you have to respect our borders and our laws."  Right, MAGA?

Oh, and "detained near Mexico border".....fuck that namby-pamby misleading bullshit.  He was detained IN MEXICO, ON THEIR SIDE OF THE BORDER.

Pretty reasonable stance by Mexico considering their past and present. If you can barely control los indios/bandidos/carteles/whatever-they-call-em-next-year, you don't need to encourage extra filibusteros and other pirates trying to peel off new strips of land.

Oh right. He "forget."
